Ask Before Closing Multiple Tabs feature - Now Available

Any decent browsers (Like Firefox) tells you how many tabs you are about to close!!!!!
How am I supposed to know ??? I run dozens of tabs in my work !! And this is actually the only way I know how many tabs I'm running !
I hope they are adding this in the final release, otherwise the feature will be incomplete and ridiculous.
This feature is obviously not to count your open tabs, it's "warn on close" or "ask before closing multiple tabs" feature.
no it won't be ridiculous or incomplete.
I don't expect to see how many open tabs I have, I just want to be warned If i have more than 2 tabs open and then I try to close the browser, that's it. if you need more send feedback through browser feedback button to be added.
It really doesn't belong to this feature. so what if i have 10 or 25 tabs open, like what does the browser expect me to do by mentioning it?! if I want to close the browser then that's what I want to do, this feature just warns me that there are other tabs open and that's alright.
I don't remember exactly but I think Firefox showed number of open tabs before closing multiple tabs and that was pretty useless. a simple tab count number doesn't mean other tabs are important or not, or say anything about the contents of those tabs.
1 tab can be more important than 100 other tabs depending on its content.I can somewhat understand why Omar-Os wants to have the number of open tabs shown in the warning. I totally respect that different browsers do things differently, but as someone who is also migrating from Firefox, I was actually also expecting the warning to warn me about not only that I'm going to close all tabs but also how many tabs I'm going to close. Of course this feature is not supposed to count the number of open tabs, but I don't thnk showing the number in the warning would be misplaced or could have any negative impact on the user experience either. It might actually even improve the user experience in my opinion.
Omar-Os Maybe the Extension Tab Count for Microsoft Edge is useful to you as an alternative.

Don't waste your time with her, she's always against any good idea from any customer and always tries to convince them that their idea is terrible with no actual good reason or explanation.
Thanks for the extension, but I'm trying to NOT use extensions as much as possible!
Not to use extensions for every silly detail that Edge doesn't have while other browsers does !
